Baby Sign Language... Why Use It?

Baby sign language - the benefits

Thousands of parents and childcare workers are experiencing the benefits of baby sign language thanks to Australian Baby Hands. Incorporating baby sign language into your everyday life will benefit you and your baby in some of the following ways:

Using baby sign language, your baby will be able to express their needs and wants to you before being able to speak thanks to this fun easy to learn guide of Australian baby sign language.

Baby Sign Language helps reduce frustration for you and your baby providing you with a communication system which can be used with babies from 6 months to 2 1/2 years.

Baby sign language research in both preverbal and verbal children highlights that those children who are exposed to baby sign language are generally more self-confident and have increased self-esteem.

My name is Jackie Durnin; I became involved in baby sign language through my love of sign language. After studying sign language in both Ireland and Australia, I came across the use of sign language with babies and more than two decades of research supporting its benefits. (More on the research into baby sign language).

I also witnessed and heard my friends tell me how their inability to know what was wrong with their baby all the time was frustrating and heart wrenching. I realized that there had to be a better way for both parents and babies. As a result, Australian Baby Hands was born.

Charlotte signs "Please"

My daughter Charlottes signing just gets better every week and I love being able to communicate with her so easily.

She is 16 months old and we have been signing for about the last 6 months thru our day care centre.

I try to introduce a new word every week last week we have been using the word Car for every morning when we go to hop in it. They have started using more words in her room at day care too so it all helps.

My sister in law was a sceptic but when she visited at Christmas and saw with her own eyes she was amazed by it.

We now use about 8 words and her toilet training has started with the "POO" sign so every time she comes and tells us and on the potty we go, excellent!"

Numerous childcare associations and organisations in the States and Territories of Australia recommend Australian Baby Hands products.

For child care centre's that have babies attending, I recommend the use of Australian Baby Hands in the children's program. Research shows that babies who have used baby sign language have advanced communication, literacy and memory skills and high self confidence and self esteem."

"I would like to thank you for your ingenious signing program.

My 2 year old son, Jesse, has picked it up with such ease and it is such a wonderful sight when he comes up to me and tells me both spoken and signing that he wants to have a bath, or a drink, or play with the dogs, cat, birds.

It is breath taking and such a contrast to 6 months ago when he would be crying, yelling and so upset because as hard as we tried, we just could not comprehend what he was asking for.

I am just 6 weeks away from having my second son and we will be using our signs from the first day in hospital to get into the routine. We only wished that we had of heard of this fantastic program when we were pregnant with our first beautiful son.

Thanks again, you have improve our communication with our son a million times over!!!!!"
